A Pt-catalyzed pentannulation of propargylic esters containing an epoxide moiety has been developed. The present transformation achieves the formation of cyclopentenone products as single diastereomers in good yields. The observed products likely form from pyran intermediates that undergo an oxa-6pi electrocyclic ring opening to a functionalized dienone, followed by ring closure with an accompanying acyl shift.

A very highly diastereoselective semipinacol rearrangement of 2,3-epoxy alcohols mediated by tin(IV) chloride at ambient temperatures is shown to be applicable to a wide variety of migrating groups including methyl, tert-butyl, cyclopropyl, vinyl, alkynyl, phenyl, and 2-furyl. A synthetically valuable feature is that a mixture of syn- and anti-epoxy alcohols affords only a single diastereoisomerically pure beta-hydroxy ketone. Additional advantages of the reaction include the presence in the product of two adjacent stereocenters and the efficient creation of a new quaternary center, valuable features in the synthesis of a variety of natural products.

Catalytic Isomerization of 1-Alkynyl-2,3-epoxy Alcohols to Substituted Furans: Succinct Routes to Furanoid Fatty Acids and Difurylmethanes

A versatile procedure for the preparation of synthetically valuable 2,5-disubstituted and 2,3,5-trisubstituted furans via mercury(II)-mediated isomerization of 1-alkynyl-2,3-epoxy alcohols is described. Mercury(II)-catalyzed isomerization of alkynyl epoxides 3a-k derived from cyclic Phi-alkynyl allylic alcohols furnishes 2,3,5-substituted furans bearing an aldehyde or keto group on the C-2 side chain. The reaction is used in a succinct and efficient synthesis of the furanoid fatty acid F-5. In contrast, the mercury(II)-catalyzed reaction of a series of alkynyl epoxides 3m-p lacking ring fusion affords difurylmethanes 5, presumably by the dimerization of intermediate 2-(alpha-hydroxyalkyl)furans 4.
